Zaitzeff
I had some coupons from InBundles so I took my parents to Zaitzeff (18 Avenue B between 2nd & 3rd streets). I had been there before & tried the BLT, but this was my first time checking out the burgers. It being a rainy Monday, the place really wasn’t busy. I opted for the Quarter […]
Pio Pio
I love chicken as much (if not more) than the next guy so I jumped at the chance for a free (belated birthday) meal at Pio Pio (210 East 34th Street between 2nd & 3rd). Pio Pio is a chain of Peruvian restaurants that do one thing; pollos a la brasa (rotisserie chicken) & boy […]
6th Street Kitchen offering up lunch
Good news foodies, 6th Street Kitchen (507 East 6th Street between Avenues A & B) & their new chef Greg Torrech will be offering up lunch starting August 23rd. I’ve been here for dinner before, so I’m excited about a new lunch option in the ‘hood. Check ’em out: Lunch Menu & Summer Menu
Ruby’s Bar & Grill
It took me about 22 years of living in NYC to finally make it out to Coney Island & when I did, I headed straight for Ruby’s (1213 Riegelmann Boardwalk). This place takes ‘Dive Bar’ to a whole new level & throws in a side of Coney Island Boardwalk & sea views. Mismatched furniture, a […]
Barbounia
This post is a few weeks late, but I’ll try to remember the meal as accurately as possible. Back in Early June, we took my Dad to dinner at Barbounia (250 Park Avenue South at 20th Street) for his birthday. I’d never been there before, but my brother knows one of the partners, Alon and […]
Lina Frey
I’d been reading about Lina Frey (201 East Houston at Ludlow Street) the newest French Bistro & Creperie in the LES for some time so I decided to finally check it out for myself. Actually, I had read more about the beer selection & retractable roof than the food, so I was eager to see […]
The Rusty Knot
After visiting The Frying Pan, I decided to hit up the nautically-themed Rusty Knot (425 West Street at West 11th St.). It’s a bit out of my normal stomping grounds but I was already on the West Side. I’d been there before for drinks (normally a Tecate & the infamous Pickleback; a shot of pickle […]
6th Street Kitchen
After passing by several times, I recently went to 6th Street Kitchen (507 East 6th Street between Avenue A & B) with a friend. I had previously reported that they just started Happy Hour so we arrived there pretty early last Friday (Update; Happy Hour Has been pushed back to Fall, but they will be […]
Mermaid Inn
It’s really hard to find good seafood (particularly oysters), but we’re pretty blessed here in the East Village. One of my favorites is Mermaid Inn (96 2nd Avenue between 5th & 6th Streets). They have another location in the UWS & an Oyster Bar in Greenwich Village as well.
178 7th Street close to opening
I passed by the former Mohamed’s Falafel Star spot (178th 7th Street at Avenue B) today & was lucky enough to run into Otto, the owner of the new joint. He told me that they should be open in 3-4 weeks & that the menu will be mainly healthy food with Eastern European influences. He […]
